They are doing decent. Zach doesn't need a lot of room to run, and they can't give him any.

they are doing a good job protecting the QB, but poor run blocking

I guess we really have no idea whether these guys can run block.

what might happen if we let them line up in a 2 back set with Wimbley and Line and put a hand on the ground...as we try to punch it in from the 1 yard line??

I understand this team is built for the R&S...but does that mean we can't have a jumbo package?

what has happened to Wimbley?

outside of his TD run, Zach ran 14 times and averaged 1.5 yds per carry

not much of an endorsement for the OL's run blocking

You can see on the line that we don't get a push. No matter what formation we lined up in, we wouldn't get a push with the run.

This was the first game that two things happened:
1) garrett spent a lot of time actually looking down the field, a good sign for the OL.
2) actually went to no back sets, with no protection, which means the coaching staff is starting to get more confidence in the line.

TCU put an extra man in the box to cover the run and force us to show we could pass. We could not, which is not a total indictment given the weather. They've got a damned good D. We didn't rise to the challenge. TCU wins.

1.5 yds from the one three more times still would've been good for six
